Improving Stability of Google Nest

[Shadowarez]

Anyone know how to make there cameras actually not laf like I have 8kbps dial up constant black screen randomly goes offline can't seem to reliably stream without issues bought the highest end internet package available bought a $1000 router are thrs camera's just complete utter ?

I know google abandoned the nest home hubs but shouldn't they atleast put a warning on these boxes that the camera's can't perform basic functions not sure what else can do other then scrap these and try find something that can accept WiFi 7 or something it's frustrating how unstable these things are.

What cameras are you trying to steam to your Nest Hub?

You might want to consider either Scrypted or Home Assistant to get the video stream to the Nest Hub instead if you're facing such quality issues - assuming your cameras have a locally accessible RTSP stream.

They are connecting to the hub via WiFi Google has no other options to really get into other then letting it(hub) manage them.

So Google Nest cameras? Sounds like it's been a long on-going issue:

Nest cam streaming quality deteriorated this week

Sometimes in the last week the streaming quality from Nest Cams have deteriorated in quality. From HD resolution down to extremely low bandwidth. A lot of people have the same issue, so it's not an isolated problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/s/Pn77TJwHOH Recordings look fine, but...

So yeah maybe your only real solution is to buy different cameras.

I went ubiquiti because I wanted hard line cameras. With our canadian winters the battery operated cameras just simply have a poor track record. And wifi cameras are easily disrupted by a wifi jammer. Also hate adding yet another monthly subscription that they can change the cost of at any time.
